[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 8105843, member: 177"] Our session today was... wet. The bad guys were doing a major summoning at the waterfront, and we were pressed for time to stop them. They managed to call up a water elemental and a water weird before their spellcaster went down. We were worried, because we were nowhere near at top resources. Luckily, the water elemental found our barbarian too much to swallow (the character didn't need to breathe, so couldn't be drowned, and was resistant to the bludgeoning damage it was dishing out). The water weird dragged me under, but I was wearing the party's cap of water breathing. However, I was still in trouble, as the weird was dishing out a lot of damage, and my dice weren't with me - my attempts to break out of the grapple and restraint were pitiful. I decided to try change tactics and attack, though I'd be at disadvantage... And my dice blessed me. It is a glorious thing to cast a smiting spell, and you swing at disadvantage... but roll a 16 and a 17! And then fall only one point short of max damage on the roll! I beat down the weird just as the other two party members finished off the elemental. Soggy, but successful! [/QUOTE]
